Preparations Under Way for 1920 Census
A House bill planned for the 1920 census proposes expanded industry and resource data, with Supervisors and enumerators for population and agriculture estimated at 5 000 to 10 000, and 1 500 field workers plus 1 000 to 5 000 office clerks for manufacturers, mines and quarries. The committee recommends excluding the Philippines and including Guam, Samoa, and the Panama Canal zone with targeted censuses, plus nationality data for foreign born and foreign language. The census date would shift to January 1, 1920, and a biennial manufacturing output census is proposed.
